Did King Kohli forget to bat in Tests?
After the 2 match Test series played against Bangladesh, Virat Kohli’s bat has remained silent against New Zealand as well. It seems as if King Kohli has forgotten how to bat. A century is far away. Virat is not able to stay on the pitch. He has not scored a century in the last 15 months. Kohli has played only 6 Test matches in one and a half years, in which Kohli has scored 38, 76, 46, 12, 6, 17, 47, 29*, 0, 70 and 1 runs in 11 Test innings.
